The George Hotel and Beach Club

Good

Liked: Outside terrace and outstanding breakfast
Disliked: Very noisy bedroom and water leak in the ceiling

Avoid. For the prices that...

Liked: Good location next to sea.
Disliked: Some rooms have machinery noise that can disturb sleep (rooms 27 and 28). The noise seems to come from extractor fans or Aircon chillers. The noise is noticeable even when the windows are closed. On a hot day, with windows open, the noise is even more noticeable. It impacted our sleep.When I brought this problem to the attention of the hotel management, they were dismissive. It took effort and time to resolve the problem (by changing rooms) but the hotel management’s attitude was strange. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels and very occasionally a room may have external noise but this was the only time where I experienced a hotel management who were reluctant to admit it and solve it. Odd. For the prices that this hotel charges, I expected better facilities and better management.

An overpriced hotel advertising itself...

Liked: We enjoyed a spacious superior room with a sea view. The decor was a little tired but the bed was very comfortable.Breakfast was, in the main, good but at these prices I expect a little more than mediocre sliced white or brown bread.The hotel does enjoy good sea views.
Disliked: Although expensive we chose to stay at the George Hotel & Beach Cub because it advertised parking & being a beach club.First off the hotel does not have parking despite the Booking.com advert listing it has having parking & putting top of the list of “Most popular facilities”, Parking. This, to me, is misleading advertising and not entirely honest. The hotel fronts onto a narrow one way street so briefly dropping off baggage is problematic as you will hold up traffic. There is a small pay & display car park to the side of the hotel but spaces are limited & it is often full & it only offers short term parking. The most practical parking option is to use the long term car park which is a 7 minute walk away. The hotel defends its self by saying that, at the end of a long list of features, that paid parking is available. Coming after stating that "Parking is Available" twice in prominent positions does not mitigate the misleading nature of the advert. The advert should clearly and only state that paid parking is available. Secondly, if the description “beach club” conjures up images of relaxing on a sun lounger on a beach enjoying a nice cool drink, forget it. Closely look at the hotel pictures & you will see that the beach, such that it is, is very small with no sun beds. Warning signs abound telling of the danger of swimming & not to do it. There is, however, a large very busy terrace full of noisy revelers enjoying drinking the afternoon away on hard chairs. If that’s for you then the George is perfect. A peaceful relaxing place to spend time it was not.

Perfect stay in Yarmouth

Liked: Perfect location at the centre of everything. Room was spacious with a nice view. Complimentary breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great for young families

Disappointing and uncomfortable

Liked: The bed in our was very substandard with two cheap mattresses with a big gap between on a double bad. Very uncomfortable and gave me and my wife back ache. Room was not very clean and the hotel is generally tired and in need of investment. It’s a shame because it’s a brilliant location.
Disliked: Sorry see above
